One of the greatest development stories in Tennessee basketball history, former Vols forward Admiral Schofield was back in town Tuesday night. He took advantage of the All-Star break and returned to Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Washington Wizards rookie was in attendance as the Vols hosted the Vanderbilt Commodores. Schofield’s last game with UT was when they were eliminated in the Sweet 16 of the 2019 NCAA Tournament by the Purdue Boilermakers.
Beyond that, Schofield’s last game in Thompson-Boling Arena was a 71-54 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs in early March of last year. In this return, he received a standing ovation from the crowd during a TV timeout.
